Remarketing

Remarketing or retargeting allows us to show ads to users who have previously visited our website as they browse the web. We carry out re-marketing via Google Adwords [and Facebook]. We show ads to visitors who have visited the site before, so a previous visitor will see these ads [in their Facebook feed or] when they’re browsing the internet. We are able to do this using cookies dropped on a user’s hard drive, when a visitor comes to the site. The remarketing cookie window is set for 120 days.

This module uses cookies to provide this sharing functionality.
